Mimi Tong is a Sydney-based artist who uses photography, drawing and installation to explore her interest in architectural spaces and cultural experience. Her process of working involves experiencing and reflecting on local urban architecture and geography, and considering how these are shaped by, represent and impact on social and cultural interactivity and personal identity. In developing her visual responses she often combines photographic and sculptural elements in which space is abstracted, folded and reflected. Tong's past solo exhibitions include projects for GRANTPIRRIE, Sydney (2010), UTS Gallery, Sydney (2009) and Artspace, Sydney (2007). She has also exhibited her work at Gertrude Contemporary, Melbourne (2011), RMIT Gallery, Melbourne (2009), Lismore Regional Gallery (2008) and Hazelhurst Regional Gallery, Sydney (2007-06). Tong was recently included in the Dobell Prize for Drawing at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney (2010).
